CH. 1 ~Overworked~

(Reader) is overworked, overwhelmed, under paid, and just plain exhausted. The holiday season has never been her favourite thing in the whole world. Not since she started working in a busy department store, the Christmas season being one of the most stressful. With all her co-workers away on holiday, she's left to fill in for them. Under paid, she can't afford to visit her family for the holidays, which leaves her feeling empty and melancholy. While window shopping on her day off, she sees a quaint little café and decides to see what they offer. Needing a much needed break and shelter from the cold. While waiting for her drink she sees a boy who sticks out like a sore thumb. A boy with blonde hair and freckles, sitting alone, at a table next to a window, drinking a cup of warm tea, and scrolling through his phone. After a few more trips to the cafe, and always seeing the boy there, she decides to sit with him.
